Time to have a "retro" tournament!
I'm betting that game was played with that big heavy gushy 16" ball. ... used to have a couple of those, but kids have a way of loosing everything you ever wanted to keep.

The ball was big enough and heavy enough that I'm not sure you could have hit it much more than a hundred feet and it was soft enough that you didn't need a glove - probably wouldn't have fit in one of today's gloves. Just surmising.
